Previously known as the Murdaugh Murders Podcast, which inspired Hulu's Original Series 'Murdaugh: Death in the Family', True Sunlight is the intersection of true crime, journalism, and systematic corruption. Celebrated journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell expose the truth wherever it leads, giving voice to victims like Mica Francis, Sara Lynn Colucci, and Christa Bauer Gilley, while still pursuing justice for all the victims you've met so far like Stephen Smith, Dallas Stoller, and others. True Sunlight values accuracy over 'access journalism', sheds light with empathy rather than exploitation, and was created as a matter of public service, not just entertainment.

Exposing JP Miller’s Circle Of Supporters: What His Friends at Horry County Police Did For Him (165pt1) 17.09.2026 1ч 2минInvestigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell continue sharing details from the Mica Francis Miller case that the new Netflix documentary "Death of the Pastor's Wife" didn't include. Part One of True Sunlight #165 looks at the friends, acquaintances and assets JP had in his apparent mission to punish Mica for trying to leave him on her terms … not his. When Mandy and Liz first reported on this case in 2024, they knew Horry County Police Department was — how do we put this? — not good. Police reports obtained through FOIA told the story of a woman repeatedly reaching out for help and being told there was nothing they could do. But after nearly two years covering the Scott Spivey case and HCPD's corrupt investigation, Mandy and Liz have a whole new perspective: it wasn't just bad policing … it was policing from an agency known for helping out their friends. Between church members in law enforcement and JP's employee Tricia Ross, Mica wasn't just up against her powerful pastor husband … she was up against his flock of wolves in police clothing.

Officer by Officer: Inside the Spivey Complaint's Alleged HCPD Cover-Up Playbook (164pt2) 12.09.2026 40минIn Part Two of Two, Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell go officer by officer through the allegations contained in the Spivey family's federal complaint against Horry County police. And through every level of the investigation, the alleged conspiracy comes sharply into focus. According to the lawsuit, the conspiracy to protect Weldon Boyd and Bradley Williams started immediately after they shot and killed Scott Spivey on Sept. 9, 2023, on an Horry County, SC, highway. And it continued through the power and influence of the now former Deputy Chief of Police Brandon Strickland, a close friend of Weldon, who allegedly directed the investigation in a direction favorable to his buddy. But Strickland isn’t the only officer with dirt on his hands, according to the Spiveys.. Officer Daniel Spencer allegedly feeding investigation details to Weldon Boyd. Officer Kerry Higgs telling Weldon to stop talking. Damon Vescovi granting Weldon's attorney access to an unsecured scene. Lt. Doug Dishong allegedly ordering body cameras off while evidence was still being handled. And Scott’s body left baking in his truck, towed 45 minutes to an impound lot, and an autopsy the coroner never recommended — allegedly pushed to inflate a blood alcohol reading. Plus a never-before-heard internal affairs interview, the September 11th "be nice to Weldon" meeting, and the phone download that allegedly hid 100-mph chase speeds from the case file. Are these just a series of failures and coincidences… or is this what a cover-up looks like when it's finally dragged into the sunlight?

Spivey v. Strickland et al... The Federal Civil Suit Built to Break HCPD Over Alleged Cover-Up (164) 10.09.2026 53минPart One of Two If this episode is not playing correctly on Apple App - simply remove the download, close/reopen Apple Podcasts and/or restart phone. On the eve of the third anniversary of Scott Spivey's killing, his family filed a bombshell federal lawsuit against Horry County and 13 current and former police officers — including former Deputy Chief Brandon Strickland, former Chief Joseph Hill, and "act like a victim" Officer Damon Vescovi. The complaint alleges a coordinated conspiracy to steer the investigation toward exonerating Weldon Boyd and Bradley Williams from the very first hours: unseized phones, returned weapons, disabled body cameras, coached witnesses, a retroactively altered on-call schedule, a wiped tablet — and, for the first time in a court filing, the allegation that officers planted drugs in Scott's truck. Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down the full list of accusations, revisit Strickland's own recorded words about working "in the shadows," and explain why the Spivey family's fight against qualified immunity may be the battle of all battles.

[FEED DROP] COERCED: The Devotion & Death of Mica Francis Miller - Unraveling Evidence Of Abuse 28.08.2026 1ч 3минFollow The DROP FEED on Apple, Spotify or Ad-Free from LUNASHARK Premium on Patreon or Supercast COERCED: The Devotion & Death of Mica Francis Miller is a LUNASHARK® DROP-FEED from the award-winning team behind the Murdaugh Murders Podcast — investigative journalists Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and Beth Braden — along with producers Kate Thomas, Grace Hills and David Moses. It’s a remastered, chronological retelling of more than 2 years of original reporting from the True Sunlight Podcast, built for listeners who want to follow one case. On April 27, 2024, 30-year-old Mica Miller — wife of Myrtle Beach pastor John-Paul Miller — walked a mile into a North Carolina state park and made a 911 call that would be the last time the world heard her voice. Within days, her death was ruled a suicide — a ruling that would have ended the story for most true crime journalists. In the premiere of our remastered Drop-Feed series, Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell return to where their reporting began: the bizarre sermon Pastor JP Miller delivered the morning after his estranged wife's death. An obituary that reads like a taunt. A criminal history that includes running over a woman with a car — twice. And a stack of police reports showing Mica tracked, harassed, and hospitalized against her will in the months before she died. Police say that JP Miller didn't pull the trigger. But as Mandy and Liz explain — there's more than one way to end a life. COERCED takes a deeper look at JP Miller’s dark past that includes rape allegations, alleged bestiality, an assault conviction and pardon, and a pattern of allegedly abusive behavior that can be traced back to his father — Rev. Wayne Miller. JP’s felon father once owned a Christian complex in South Carolina called Gloryland… before it mysteriously burned down. Through exclusive interviews, 911 calls, court filings, and documents obtained through relentless FOIA requests, COERCED examines coercive control, medical and spiritual abuse, and the systems that dismissed a woman fighting for her life — and asks what accountability looks like. Mica couldn't save herself. But her story could save others. This series discusses domestic abuse, coercive control, and suicide. If you or someone you know needs support, please call or text 988 or contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233. Support in South Carolina is also available through Liza’s Lifeline. Stay tuned. Stay pesky.

New Filings... Accused Killer Michael Colucci Pleaded the Fifth 100 Times After Skipping Two Depositions (162) 27.08.2026 1ч 4минInvestigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell take a break from the Alex Murdaugh retrial drama this week to revisit one of the most devastating cases they’ve covered in their careers: the 2015 death of 38-year-old Sara Lynn Moore Colucci. Nine years after Sarah Lynn Colucci's mother Barbara Moore filed a wrongful death lawsuit, accused killer Michael Colucci finally sat for his deposition — after skipping two of them — and pleaded the Fifth roughly 100 times, refusing to answer everything from the color of his tie to his own birthday. We break down the devastating questions he wouldn't answer about the autopsy findings, his shifting stories, and his financial troubles — and why Barbara’s new motion for summary judgment asks the judge to apply adverse inferences to 28 of them. They also expose the staggering double standard of South Carolina justice: Colucci was fined just $1,283.00 for blowing off two depositions, while Mandy was ordered to pay $176,500.00 in a case she isn't even a party to.

Lies Detected... Murdaugh Prosecutor Corrects the Record on Dick’s Deceptions (161pt2) 23.08.2026 40минPart Two of Two There's a new Creighton Waters in town… In Part 2 of Episode 161, Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down the stunning filing in which the lead prosecutor formally corrected Dick Harpootlian's false claim that Alex Murdaugh passed a polygraph "with flying colors" — complete with a savage citation noting defense co-counsel's incredulous reactions in real time. Then, Joe McCullough pushes himself into the spotlight while pushing to unseal the Egg Lady records — conveniently trying to pull the in-camera transcripts from view that tell the real story. Dots Connected: Judge McCaslin's change-of-venue ruling leans on the Beach v. Parker venue order that bashes Liz and Mandy’s opinions, the one built on months of purchased lawfare, harassment, and a landline survey of 333 people, and designed to blame journalists for publicity the villains created themselves.

Judge Scolds Team Murdaugh for Courtroom Shenanigans Over Murder Weapon ‘Rumor’ 20.08.2026 58минPart One of Two Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down everything that happened at Alex Murdaugh’s most recent hearing.Team Murdaugh came to Friday's retrial hearing armed with a "bombshell" that turned out to be a dud… a rumor from fitsnews claiming Murdaugh murder weapons were tied to a recent Allendale County killing. However, no article existed, prosecutor Creighton Waters had never heard of it, and SLED debunked the claim within minutes.Mandy and Liz break down how the fumble unraveled in real time — and why so much of the media ran with it anyway. Then there's the venue circus: Dick Harpootlian putting his own associate on the stand to testify about budget hotels and Cracker Barrel commutes, insisting on Charleston-only... before pivoting to Richland County in a Monday letter to Judge McCaslin. Plus, the ruling that matters most: Alex's sworn testimony from the first trial — the lies, the kennel video admission, all of it — is allowed into the record in Murdaugh 2.0.

Alex Murdaugh Wants to Be Judged By Charleston. What to Know About Friday’s Murdaugh Murders Hearing (TSP160) 13.08.2026 1ч 9минAlex Murdaugh is due back in court for another hearing this week and investigative journalist Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are more ready than ever. In today’s episode Mandy and Liz share the highlights from the stack of filings made by Team Murdaugh and the prosecution ahead of the Aug. 14th hearing in front of Judge Debra McCaslin. Team Murdaugh's surprisingly polished 26-page motion to move the second murder trial of the century out of the 14th Circuit, and the state's pointed response asking what's so special about the Holy City top the list. The co-hosts also dig into the state's bombshell request for a never-before-seen extraction of Alex's phone data citing former clients’ permission to waive privilege, the fight over the DNA under Maggie's fingernails, and so much more.

The Distraction Machine: Becky Hill's Win and Gregg Roman's Supreme Court Detour, TSP #159 [Part Two] 10.08.2026 35минPart Two of Two Some good news first: Judge Richard Gergel dismissed Alex Murdaugh's federal lawsuit demanding $600,000 from former Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill, pointing to the "fatal flaw" sitting at the center of it.Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell explain why agreeing with the ruling isn't the same as defending Becky Hill — and why they always believed the suit was less about money than about spectacle, subpoena power, and keeping everyone's eyes off the double homicide case.Then, Gregg Roman. The Middle East Forum executive director hired by billionaire gas station owner Greg Parker now calls himself an investigative journalist in court filings, and the South Carolina Supreme Court has agreed to take his appeal to keep his bank records away from the Beach family.

Was Mandy Matney Punished By The Court For Speaking Out Against The SC Judiciary? TSP #159 [Part One] 06.08.2026 1ч 14мин[Part One of Two] Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell walk through the motion to reconsider filed by Mandy’s attorneys to combat the unprecedented and arguably unconstitutional $176,500 civil contempt sanction. Mandy and Liz lay out how the process went sideways from the start: a rule to show cause with no verified petition, a hearing where her own compelled testimony was used to supply the missing foundation, and an order that cites her podcast and social media commentary as evidence against her — while conceding that speech was protected — it's a farce. Liz Farrell adds context on the five-star hotel bills, the fees no one gets to inspect, and the one person who predicted this outcome on the day of the deposition before any proceeding began.

TSP #158 [Part Two] - South Carolina’s Warning To Whistleblowers + What’s Happening In the Alex Murdaugh v Becky Hill Lawsuit? 01.08.2026 39минPart Two of Two South Carolina fined journalist Mandy Matney $5,000 to “deter similar conduct in the future and promote respect for the law.” It fined Cory Fleming, $0. Becky Hill, $0. Alex Murdaugh — who stole more than $12 million from grieving clients — $0. Mandy opens Part Two of Episode 158 by laying that math out plainly, and asking what message it sends to every whistleblower in the state trying to change its broken systems. Then journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell turn to Murdaugh v. Hill, the federal suit in which Alex demands at least $600,000 from the former clerk of court for what his lawyers call “criminal jury tampering” — a charge prosecutors declined to bring, because the jurors telling the story couldn’t keep it straight. Plus: Becky’s motion to dismiss, Phil Barber’s savage briefs, another sealed discovery order, and why a sourdough starter metaphor explains this entire mess.

True Sunlight #158 [Part One] - Debbie Barbier Tells on Herself + Why It Matters that John Monk’s Son Was Arrested for CSAM 30.07.2026 1ч 13минPart One of Two Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell have some questions about a Spartanburg County Police report… made by none other than Debbie Barbier… When Greg Parker’s attorney Deborah Barbier told Spartanburg police she'd been “harassed” in a hotel lobby the morning of Mandy's contempt hearing on June 22, 2026, the department did something our team has never seen done so thoroughly for a harassment complaint made by a woman: it investigated. Multiple officers. Multiple weeks. Untold public monies. Search warrants signed by magistrate judges with no explanation of what probable cause existed — including a search of Mandy's Marriott room records and private guest information divulged over the phone. Hours of surveillance footage later, police could not locate the confrontation Barbier described, and the case is now listed as "inactive". We’re revisiting what South Carolina's harassment statute actually says, and ask why protected first amendment activities keep getting recast as crimes… and why behavior matching the statute is disregarded. Then we relook at McClatchy reporter John Monk’s coverage of Mandy's contempt proceedings through the prism of his 44 year old son’s federal indictment on child sexual abuse material charges — to which Monk Jr. has pleaded not guilty.

True Sunlight #157 - 'Flee' Gilley Extends His Stay in Italy + The Strange Tale of a Mass Squatter 23.07.2026 1ч 6минTen days after an unprecedented contempt order shook South Carolina to its core, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are still standing — and they've got a lot of ground to cover. First, Mandy updates listeners on jaw-dropping injustice as we dig our foxholes and announce a new addition to her growing legal team intent on defending the first amendment and due process. Then, things get a little... cinematic… because the Lee Gilley saga has officially crossed into foreign territory. Lee is still in Italy. The extradition fight is stalling. Harris County keeps fumbling the ball. And somehow, a man named Matthew Jackson managed to squat inside Christa Bauer's million-dollar Houston home while all of this was happening. It’s the WILD WILD WEST. It's lawless. It's outrageous. It's a lot. Christa deserved better — and we’re pressing on to uncover The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

TSP #156 [Part Two] - Reasonable Fear of an Unreasonable Justice System: More on Mandy's $176,500 Punishment Without Process 18.07.2026 48мин[Part Two of Two] In Part Two, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down exactly how Parker's attorneys weaponized a judge's old-fashioned notions of what a scared woman looks like — and why South Carolina's appointed judiciary has no reason to care what you think about it… Demand better! Attorneys for a billionaire gas station owner allegedly billed $310,000 (allegedly because the invoices are secret) — the cost of approximately two murder defenses — in secret billings – to punish a journalist for wanting to feel safe at her own deposition. A deposition that was attempted in March and happened in April. Judge R. Keith Kelly obliged them, ordering Mandy to pay $171,500 in attorneys fees and a $5,000 fine to coerce a deposition that already happened back in April. We believe that Mandy’s constitutional rights were violated and it makes us worry for all of us. The contempt charge brought by attorneys who represented Alex Murdaugh's convicted co-conspirators and decided by the same judge who lets Gregg Roman continue to dodge his deposition… the lesson is clear: EVADE SERVICE at all costs and skate free. Cooperate to your best ability: and they’ll ruin your life in return.

True Sunlight #156 [ Part One ] - A Dark Day At The House Of True Sunlight After $176,500 Contempt Sanction 16.07.2026 53мин[Part One of Two] Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell react to a stunning contempt ruling ordering Mandy to pay a $5,000 fine and $171,500 for billionaire Greg Parker's legal fees — a sum greater than what many murder defendants pay for their entire defense, and a penalty whose line-item breakdown has been sealed from Mandy and the public. Mandy argues the ruling has nothing to do with a missed deposition and everything to do with punishing a journalist who refused to stay quiet. David Moses reads directly from South Carolina contempt law to expose how the order may exceed its own legal authority. Then Liz breaks down the bigger picture: the evidence connecting Greg Parker to Gregg Roman, the photos of Mallory Beach's dead body, and the documentary that used them — a puzzle hiding in plain sight while Parker's attorneys keep everyone focused on Mandy. This is a fight for the First Amendment for a woman's safety. And it's just getting started.

FEED DROP: Wherever It Leads... Milan: 'Festina Lente' Making Haste Slowly Through Milano With Tour de Force Marta Mondelli 09.07.2026 59минWe're taking a break from True Sunlight this week, but we hope you enjoy this episode of 'Wherever It Leads... Milan' Follow the show at staypes.ky/wherever Tourists sprint to Rome and Florence while one of Europe’s most alive cities hums quietly in the north — and that’s exactly what makes Milan extraordinary. This week, writer, author, and Milanese insider Marta Mondelli pulls back the curtain on a city of hidden courtyards, wooden streetcars, world-class aperitivo, and jasmine-soaked springs. She explains why cappuccino after 11am is a “crime”, why the Milanese party as hard as they work, and why spring open days unlock palaces most visitors never see. Journalist Mandy Matney and producer David Moses share their own Milan memories — late-night dumplings in Chinatown, a train through the Alps, streets packed on a Tuesday like it was Saturday — while Marta weighs in on Lee Gilley’s asylum claim in nearby Turin and Italy’s growing conversation around feminicide. Plus: Lake Como, Turin, and the art of spending your tourism money where it actually matters.

TSP #155 [Part Two] - Pink in the Courtroom: Why Greg Parker Apparently Fears Free Speech 03.07.2026 57мин[Part Two of Two] Investigative journalist Mandy Matney is still processing — but she’s not shrinking. In Part Two, Mandy begins the episode reflecting on how Greg Parker’s scorched-earth legal campaign was supposed to scare her into silence and instead flipped a switch. Then David delivers a blistering First Amendment Moses Moment, calling out Parker’s attorneys for using the court as a weapon against a non-party journalist — asking what she was wearing, how many Instagram followers she has, and why she dared to eat dinner in public. And Liz Farrell breaks down Parker’s desperate venue transfer motion, which weaponizes LUNASHARK’s own Crowd the Courthouse 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 posts as evidence of jury contamination. Then we roll the tape: Debbie B. Barbier’s closing argument, Judge Kelly’s bench remarks, and the moment the courtroom turned. The billionaire’s lawyers claim billings in the hundreds of thousands of dollars for the failed deposition. But Parker still can’t buy or force Mandy’s silence.

TSP #155 [Part One] - Judge McCaslin Takes the Wheel: Murdaugh Retrial Hearing Recap 02.07.2026 1ч 7мин[Part One of Two] The first hearing in Alex Murdaugh's retrial was supposed to signal a new era for Team Murdaugh. Dick Harpootlian promised bigger, bolder, different. What we got instead? Old Dick. Old Trick. Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down every move from the June 29 scheduling hearing before Judge Debra McCaslin — the no-nonsense judge who called the warden herself, set a firm April 5, 2027 trial date, and wasn't about to let Dick charm, delay, or bully his way through her courtroom. From the shackle saga to the laptop drama to Team Murdaugh’s DNA boondoggle, it's all here.

TSP #154 — Weldon Boyd’s Bizarre (And, Frankly, Embarrassing) Legal Filings Against Mark Tinsley Get the Full Tiger Treatment 25.06.2026 1ч 13минInvestigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell dig into the spectacular self-destruction of Weldon Boyd's case against attorney Mark "the Tiger" Tinsley—the wannabe blueberry farmer who sued the lawyer representing the family of the man he killed. Spoiler: Judge Hyman tossed it. We walk through the June 10 hearing, Desa Ballard's baffling "declaratory judgment" demand, and the question nobody could answer: what exactly are we trying to remedy here?Then there's Ken Moss's bizarre motion to recuse Judge Eugene Bubba Griffith, built on a mysterious affidavit he refuses to produce—and a subpoena aimed straight at LUNASHARK®...? Plus: Mandy reports back from her Spartanburg contempt hearing, where Greg Parker's attorneys want her to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars - we think - to a gas-station billionaire.
